I can completely understand the theory that it is different for everyone and is dependent on a person's maturity level. For me I set an age of 30, even as a very mature young adult I knew that the person I was when I was 20 would be vastly different then the person I would be at 30. I also believe that marriage is FOREVER and didn't feel I could make that type of commitment until I had begun to discover who I am. At 40 I am going to be different then who I am today but I believe I am mature enough to share that with a life partner whereas at a younger age I would have been to self absorbed.
I truly envy those that find their life partner at a young age and choose to go through life's stages together; growing and changing. The fact that they have been able to evolve together in a loving and supportive manner is something to be admired.
